Ambassador, with respect, I agree with you on that, but there's even more uncertainty layered on top of those unjustified 232 tariffs because of the government's unwillingness to tell us what is going on.
We get more information from the Government of Mexico about what they are doing through the statements they are issuing, and we get a dearth of information about what is coming from the Canadian government. We read news sources about anonymous, high-ranking Canadian sources, about unnamed anonymous Quebec sources, telling us what is going on. This is the forum for us to hear officially from the Government of Canada what exactly is going on.
We have been having these debates now for some time in Parliament and we don't get any information. Like I said, there are families who go to bed every night in southwestern Ontario, where I'm from, who are scared to death about where their future paycheques are coming from. Manufacturing in my part of Ontario is plummeting. It's shrinking. People are worried. Information is important.
Don't you agree? Will you take back to your government the need for more information to come from the government about what the approach is and when we're going to have negotiations on section 232 tariffs? The industry is running out of time. You can't keep paying $5 billion in tariffs and keep these plants open. At some point, something is going to break.
